ARTISTE, RECORD TITLE AND LABEL KATI PATANG Music Direction: R.D Burman EMI Odeon MOCE 4003 (pres sed in India) An original 1970 Indian pressing housed in a thick stock jacket (see results of my grading below). Buyers please note that I try to describe as well as I could. However, some potential bidders have asked for grading and I have tried to do so. In this respect, as both RRPG and Goldmine grading systems seem not in sync, I have drawn up my own which is indicated below after my grading results and I suggest that one reads that too. UK buyers also please note that I am based in Singapore but the system assumes that as a seller on Ebay,UK should indicate a UK postage cost of 4GBP which may not even cover surface postage let alone registration (ie tracking). Please read my shipping section below. Bidders who are viewing this on Ebay, US & Canada please note that I originally listed this under Ebay, UK where I ticked the item condition as 'used'. I did exercise the option of listing it under Ebay, US & Canada(for a fee of course!). Somehow, these listings are appearing under Ebay US & Canada as 'like new' and I can't seem to change it under that site . It should read as 'used'. GRADING RESULTS: The jacket is graded as VG+ . There are some signs of wear with surface scuffs at the bottom right hand corner which is somewhat more pronouncedat the bottom left hand corner at the reverse which also has a number' 3152' towards the center. Both sides have some visible but hairlines . These did not affect play too badly. The vinyl maintains its lustre . Tracking at 1.7g with a Lyra Helikon SL cartridge mounted on a Linn LP12/Naim ARO tonearm, there were some extraneous surface noise which was not intrusive and generally beneath the music. The playing is graded as between VG+ to VG++ in view of this. How I Clean and Grade my Records Cleaning: Cleaning is usually done on a Loricraft PRC 4 cleaning machine using the US made Walker Audio 3 stage cleaning solution . Playback Equipment: Playback is through a Linn LP12 turntable/Armeggedon/Naim Aro tonearm/Lyra Helikon SL cartridge and through a brace of active Naim 250s/135s into Naim DBL speakers. For 45s I use a second Linn/Lingo/Aro/Linn Troika though I change them occasionally as the arm tubes can be easily transferred from one deck to another. I use both Goldmine and Rare Record Price Guide grading system as a guide and came up with the following: · Mint I only use this for sealed items and even then rather sparingly. The record is virtually unplayed and is in a brand new condition. Cover is pristine. Up till now, I have never used this grading and, chances are, never will, due to my conservative nature in matters of record grading. · Near Mint Very little or negligible flaws. Faint lines or very faint creasing on laminated covers visible under a strong light is acceptable but nothing serious. Records which show some signs of having been played such as very faint spindle marks are allowed but there should be no lessening in sound quality. . · Excellent Item obviously played, though not often,and enjoyed with some very slight extraneous surface noise which should be intermittent. The record should be nice and shiny but may have a few light marks which should not intrude on play. Slight wear on cover is acceptable. · Very Good++ Some slight imperfections which are noticeable like hairlines but not obtrusive. The record has been played several times but there should be no major deterioration in sound quality despite some noticeable surface marks and light scratches. Normal wear and tear or writings on the cover is acceptable but there should not be any major tears. Very Good + Some surface noise which may be continous but generally beneath the music and not intrusive. Cover will show signs of wear and, where it is laminated, some separation of the laminate Very Good Just a shade above poor. I do not offer in this grade ... read more
